Catch Up with Former Stars of ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Like Lea Black and Joanna Krupa

Not all Real Housewives franchises are made to last — or are they? Bravo has created various shows in different cities such as Orange County, New York City, Atlanta, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Beverly Hills. And among these, they also launched the Real Housewives of Miami.

The first season of the show aired in February 2011 and featured Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Alexia Echevarria, Marysol Patton, Larsa Pippen and Cristy Rice. However, Larsa and Cristy later left the series. Seasons 2 and 3 saw new additions to the cast including Lisa Hochstein, Joanna Krupa, Ana Quincoces and Karent Sierra. Although RHOM last aired in 2013, it wasn't officially confirmed by Andy Cohen that the show was done for good until 2016.

RHOM faced a network cancellation but was revived by Peacock, the streaming platform of Bravo, in 2021. Larsa, Lisa, and Alexia made a comeback in full-time roles, while Adriana and Marysol appeared as "friends." Joining the cast were new Housewives Guerdy Abraira and Julia Lemigova, along with "friend" Kiki Barth. This same group filmed both season 5 and 6, with the latter airing on Bravo.

Joanna Krupa

Joanna gained attention in 2015 for taking legal action against Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality Brandi Glanville. The lawsuit arose from Brandi's inappropriate remarks about Joanna's private area on WWHL. After a lengthy two-year dispute, the two women reached a settlement in August 2017.

Joanna and her ex-husband Romain Zago ended their marriage in May 2017 after being together for four years. She mentioned that the long-distance relationship, with her in L.A. and him in Miami, played a big role in their split.

Seven months later, Joanna tied the knot with businessman Douglas Nunes in a private ceremony in Poland in August 2018. Their daughter, Asha-Leigh Presley Nunes, was born in November 2019. However, in March 2023, it was confirmed that Douglas had filed for divorce from Joanna after four years of marriage. The divorce was finalized in October 2023.
